Untitled
photographic
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a photographic by Béla Markup, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sculpture shows a woman sitting on a pedestal, holding a smaller figure close to her chest. The woman’s hair is styled in a net-like headpiece, and her body is smooth but muscular. The smaller figure leans against her, looking upward with a calm face. The pedestal has carved lines that look like ancient writing. The whole piece is made of bronze, giving it a warm, solid look.

A photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, received the photograph among many others sent by sculptors in the 1920s in response to his questionnaires. These questionnaires and related materials are now held in the Archive of Art and Design.
